Here's the US chart for anyone interested -

A chart from Our World in Data that is displaying data on maternal mortality rates from 1900-2020. The rate drops dramatically in the 1940s, drops again in the 1980s, and rises slightly by 2020. There is a huge difference between the early 1900s and 1980 on.

Ugh they took the fluoride out of the water in Calgary in 2011 and now they're trying to put it back because...

"We are concerned about avoidable and potentially life-threatening disease, pain, suffering, misery and expense experienced especially by very young children and their families due to dental decay," Dickinson said in an emailed statement.

"In just eight years after fluoridation ended in 2011, the need for intravenous antibiotic therapy by children to avoid death by infection rose 700 per cent at the Alberta Children's Hospital."

According to Dickinson, a recent University of Alberta study shows that for children under five years old, the rate of dental treatments under anesthesia doubled from 22 per 100,000 in 2010-11 to 45 per 100,000 in 2018-19.

For kids aged six to 11, the rates rose from 14 per 100,000 to 19 per 100,000.

(Also, it’s that and the endless virulent racism and bigotry — they’re glad to point one finger at immigrants and while you’re looking, they pick your pocket or worse.)

He's using the Schrodinger's Joke defense. That always works well.

Now *this* is a supremely self-satisfied cat. This is a cat who just drew to an inside straight.

So they're supporting the authors they're banning. The joys of living in a theocracy.
